2016 Aston Martin Vantage 4.7L Petrol · OR03 AMV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward consumable-related defects. While the most recent test in December 2025 passed without major failures, the history indicates a recurring issue regarding sidewall damage on the nearside front outer tyre. This mirrors a defect from the November 2024 inspection, suggesting a persistent problem with road hazards or handling rather than systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,645 miles per year. There are significant gaps between testing intervals, such as the 2,629-mile increase between November 2024 and December 2025, which is consistent with a low-use storage pattern. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts, seals, and fluid chemistry if the vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the nearside front tyre assembly, as the repeated sidewall damage across the last two tests indicates a potential history of impacting or impact-related structural weakening that could lead to a sudden blowout. Furthermore, the failure in February 2023 regarding an inoperative Engine Management Indicator light necessitates a diagnostic scan to ensure no underlying fault codes remain masked or that the system is not experiencing intermittent malfunctions. Given the low usage, specific attention should also be paid to flat-spotting or the cracking of suspension bushings, which are common in high-performance vehicles that are infrequently driven.
